I want to mount the transmitter on my wood shed, about 20' from the underground sensor. Can I add on an extension to the cord?

I don't think that would be a problem. You would just have to cut the wire (which would void the warranty) and splice similar wire. Do not use longer wire than necessary as voltage drops over length and that might affect the operation. Once you have done that test it to see if it still works OK. If not then remove the additional wire. You do have to be careful to make sure you connect the proper wires (colors) and not accidentally switch them.

You should be able to extend to 50 feet, the only thing is go with a 18 or 22 gage wire not 20 gage.

Its not very long or thick. You could link a few together to wrap around the extension cord....just that you'll need more to them to get the job.... : )

I hardwired mine. But you can put a duplex cord on it if you wish and I extended the up down cord. 5 ft is not long enough.

Your best bet is to mount the transmitter high enough off the ground say 3 to 4 feet or more so that it will not detect the cats walking under it. This unit is one of the best out there for it's price and reliance. Well worth the money!

My experience is that the sensor must be very close to the transmitted signal. My opinion is it would not work for cable behind wallboard, etc. Could be a help in sorting out cables you can touch.

I do not believe the previous writers have one of these units. The cable from the camera to the transmitter is about 10 to 12'. You can purchase an extension of 15' additional wire if needed.

Try to add 19 Ft of regular wire, see if it works. You have nothing to lose...

You could certainly extend the cords, but I would have reservations. How will you get up there for install? How will you retrieve the cord if you accidentally let it go without engaging it in the blind-like stop? (That happens.) Use your trigonometry skills to determine how much clearance you would need 20 feet down in order to engage the blind-like clamp. A 10 foot ceiling requires it to be installed 8 inches from the wall on the side of the mechanism. I would love to hear how this goes if you in fact do it.

The temperature sensor is small about 1 inch or less. No extension cable came with mine. I think that it is under the picture of the controller..

It should work fine if you extend the sensor wire to the area that you need to monitor.

I put mine on the side of the house so that the sensor would have input. check the instructions, you may be able to use it on timer only. DEL

Yes - but it has a short cable (maybe 3 feet) so you'll need an extension cord.

Yes, you can. There is a plate kit included that allows for wall mounting. You may be limited by the length of the cord, and hence would need an extension cord.

There is not an extension tube available that I am aware of. If you were able to make something work, wiring will need to be lengthened as well.

I'm sorry I misunderstood. I am using my siren with a transmitter an door sensor. I have mounted my siren 35ft from transmitter. I 'm not using the remote.

Sure. You just need to ensure the connector and electrodes are not compromised. Adding an extention should be no problem.
